27-inch display benefits from supremely accurate colorsDell has taken the wraps off a new 27-inch monitor that supports 4K along with HDR , and it’s an impressively bright panel that places a premium on color depth and accuracy. The UltraSharp UP2718Q offers a 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) at a refresh rate of 60Hz, and the company boasts that it’s the first 27-inch monitor to fulfil the HDR10 standards as specified by the UHD Alliance. Meaning that in Dell’s words, you can expect ‘strikingly accurate’ images to be delivered by the display, and creative professionals will be able to use the monitor to view and manipulate HDR10 content. The UP2718Q also boasts a very impressive peak brightness of 1,000 nits, and a claimed contrast ratio of 20,000:1, meaning that it can produce deep blacks, bright whites, and a whole lot of contrast to make for a vivid and appealing image. You also get 178-degree viewing angles both horizontally and vertically.
